Review Detail of REMUS in The Shadow I live With

I just read until chapter four and I honestly love it. For two reasons: - I like this typical smalltown setting and it is used perfectly. The dark Secrets those young people have to hide remind me of super dark Times. It is interesting to see Charlie's and Joey's story intertwine. It's completely unpredictable at this point. - Charlie is sooooo well written. Your typical good son, only growing up with his emotionless father. ? (what happened to his mother btw I wanna know the detail ^^) He is some kind of libertine who loves aesthetic literature, is emotional but apparently an introvert, and just sees the grey and boring little world around him in the small town. One of the most relatable characters, I am a fan I would like to know if you know about James from the end of the fucking world because it is such a big similarity!
